This home is solidly built with low maintenance inside and out. Passive solar heats the house in winter through the floor-to-ceiling windows with long-range mountain views. Cool in the summertime as the sun passes over the top of the house rather than the windows. Radiant heat flooring is toasty on the feet even on the coldest days. . The ergonomic kitchen is a delight to cook in with lots of storage. The whole house has a master craftsman feel with exquisite woodwork and special touches throughout. The new deck is a favorite hangout.There are plenty of woods on the property for the kids to explore. Wildflowers and perennials bloom Spring through Fall. Dogwood, Oaks, Poplar, huge, healthy Hemlocks, sourwood; several kinds of Maple display a world of color in the Fall and provide shade in the summer. Walking any time of day is a joy either on the little-traveled neighborhood roads or the neighborhood nature trail. Premier Location: close to the Blue Ridge Pkwy & its hiking trails;.

OU
Open Use District
The OU Open Use District is established as a district in which all uses are allowed by right, except for certain uses that are regulated as conditional uses so as to ensure that neighborhood impact is mitigated. Additionally, those uses which are specific to the Airport Industry District (AI) are excluded from the OU Open Use District. The neighborhood impact from conditional uses will be mitigated through the use of minimum specific site standards combined with general standards which provide the flexibility to impose a higher level of specific site standards dependent upon the degree of neighborhood impact. No zoning permit shall be required for permitted uses in the OU Open Use District.
Permitted uses
Include but are not limited to:
